Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) operates the largest nuclear fleet in the United States, generating over 180 terawatt-hours (TWh) of annual electricity. In Q2 2023, the company reported revenues of $7.5 billion, a 22.9% increase year-over-year, and signed 920 megawatts (MW) of long-term power purchase agreements. The Nuclear Production Tax Credit from the Inflation Reduction Act also supports its financial stability.
Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ) holds 433 million pounds of proven uranium reserves, primarily in Canada’s Athabasca Basin. Despite a 75% year-over-year decline in earnings per share (EPS) to $0.18, the uranium segment saw revenue increase to $712 million, a 15% rise from the previous year, with expectations for uranium prices between $91 and $96 per pound going forward.
Both companies are capitalizing on a global demand surge for nuclear energy, with numerous countries aiming to triple nuclear capacity by 2050 amid rising energy requirements from data centers and AI technology.
